Chapter 53 - No Matter How Big the Problem, If You Dodge It, Dodge It, Scam It, and Deceive It, You Can Solve Anything

**Day 27 Night Inn White Weirdo Pervert Meeting**

When we got back to the inn, Oda-kun and the others were crying? There aren't any bullies anymore, and they shouldn't be bully-able—they're supposed to be top-class strong in this world now?

"So yeah, Haruka-kun is seriously planning to solo the dungeon. We stalled him as long as we could, but he almost burned our heads off! It was seriously close! Like, absolute limit! Lv Max barrier? The combined barrier from a mage, a saint, and a guardian—almost torched! Toward the end, if the ninja hadn't spammed barrier ninjutsu like crazy, we'd have been ashes for sure! What even was that magic? Our feet got frozen so we couldn't run either! That kind of magic doesn't exist, right? Even mages can't do that! Seriously scary! That's worse than a Demon Lord or whatever!"

Oda-kun and the others were tearfully recounting their horror story. Real crying. At this point, even going back to the original world and getting bullied again would be nothing. No experience could top this terror. After surviving that, nothing's scary anymore. No bully anywhere in any world could possibly be scarier than that. Probably "common sense" was the problem... "common sense"... Yeah, because it's the natural enemy of common sense. Mortal foes.

But today Oda-kun and the others held him off—Haruka-kun is still trying to enter the dungeon. A dungeon that even recognized first-class adventurers only tackle in parties, and he's going solo.

"Worrying, right...? ...?"

"Really worrying...? ...?"

"Dangerous... right?"

"Yeah... probably?"

"Going into the dungeon alone, fighting monster hordes by himself nonstop... ...He did that from morning till night the other day, didn't he?"

"Basically, taking on groups solo with zero party support... ...He does that all the time, doesn't he? Whenever he's got free time..."

Everyone's super worried, yet... why can't we fully worry? Huh? I can't even picture the dangerous parts? Like, the dungeon is dangerous? Sure, but is the danger the dungeon itself? Dungeon collapse? No, collapse would endanger Haruka-kun... but Haruka-kun would cause the collapse and be the danger? It's definitely dangerous, but... what's dangerous exactly? Huh?

"Um... I think he was trying to say not 'If it doesn't hit, it's a jackpot' but 'If it doesn't hit, no big deal' or something? Probably? Maybe? Somehow? Surely? Normally... which means the level wall is still a problem and nothing's actually solved. So far he's just dodging, dodging, scamming, deceiving... No real solution. Probably? Uh... It kinda feels like something got solved anyway? Why is that?"

Yeah, in the end, the problem of Haruka-kun being weak hasn't been solved at all. He's just deceiving the problem, swapping it out, glossing over it, smashing it, trapping it, ambushing it, massacring it, annihilating it, mocking it... What exactly is he doing?

Bottom line: Haruka-kun is still fragile. No matter how strong he looks, no matter if he never loses to anyone, always comes back, says he's fine... he's fragile. Haruka-kun's life is extremely fragile...

But right now, monsters and everything else are just way more fragile than Haruka-kun... ...Makes no sense.
